The son of German immigrant George L. Weyrauch and his wife, Barbara Bedel, his parents were married at Madison in Jefferson County, Indiana on 09 Aug 1864.

George first married Kate Burks, daughter of James Alexander Burks and Adaline Morrision. They appear together on the 1900 census at Louisville along with his wife's sister, Lora, and their first child, Raymond Lewis Weyrock.

Their next child was a daughter, Adaline Josephine, and another son, Owsley Bernard.

The couple divorced, and both parties remarried.

According to his death certificate, George died of Lymphatic Leukemia and was interred at this cemetery.

The day of his birth appears to have been typed over in an attempt to correct it, but instead obscured the number. It reads either the 13th, 17th, or 18th of January, 1875.

His father's surname is clearly spelled 'Weyrauch,' while his is listed as 'Weyrock.'
